U.S. corn, soy rally on short-covering, cash markets
CHICAGO, Nov 21 (Reuters) – U.S. corn and soybeans edged
higher on Friday, expanding gains from the previous session as
investors covered short positions and domestic end users hiked
bids in efforts to entice sales by farmers.
Futures for each commodity traded in both positive and
negative territory at the Chicago Board of Trade amid steep
gains in the dollar that could curb export demand for U.S.
supplies. Wheat futures were mostly higher while soymeal was
narrowly lower.
CBOT December corn, which had its largest gains of the
month on Thursday, was up 3-1/2 cents to $3.76-3/4 per bushel,
bolstered by strong cash bids, especially from ethanol makers.
"This is one of those years that you have abundant (corn)
supplies on paper but the cash market is going to reflect a
short supply because it's in the farmers' hands. If they are not
willing to sell, the cash markets are going to be short," said
Jefferies Bache analyst Shawn McCambridge.
Ethanol futures were up 4.2 percent, extending gains
after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said it will not
finalize biofuel targets for 2014 until next year.
McCambridge and other analysts said the EPA announcement had
little effect on the corn market. "We are on a projected path to
produce just shy of 14 billion gallons (of ethanol), with what
we've produced already and expectations of a decent production
through the end of the year."
Soybeans for January delivery were up 4-3/4 cents at
$10.25-1/4 as of 11:20 a.m. CST (1620 GMT) while CBOT December
wheat climbed 3-1/4 cents to $5.50-1/2.
"It's hard to be particularly bullish about corn and
soybeans when you are looking at record U.S. production," said
Sebastien Techer of French consultancy Agritel.
"Export demand may help prevent prices from collapsing but
the U.S. supply balance is very heavy," he said.
A rise in the dollar index was tied to a sharp drop
in the euro as investors reacted to comments by European
Central Bank chief Mario Draghi on declining inflation
expectations, which also curbed Chicago crop futures.
A strong dollar makes U.S. commodities more expensive
overseas, and has been a drag on U.S. wheat exports this season
in the face of stiff competition from western European and Black
Sea origins.
Corn, soy rebound from 2-week lows on U.S. exports
CHICAGO, Nov 20 (Reuters) – U.S. corn and soybean futures
jumped as much as 2 percent on Thursday, rebounding from
two-week lows reached in the previous session, in a rally tied
to technical buying and renewed export demand for the crops.
Chicago Board of Trade corn rose for the first time in five
sessions, while soybeans snapped a two-session streak of losses.
Futures extended gains after the U.S. Agriculture Department
said exporters sold more than 100,000 tonnes of each crop to
unknown destinations.
The USDA release followed an earlier announcement of corn
export sales last week of 908,700 tonnes, the largest in a month
and above the high end of analysts' expectations.
"The export sales were a good number on corn – a net-plus
because everyone has been talking down the exports in the corn
market," said Agrivisor LLC analyst Dale Durchholz.
The drop in corn and soybean futures to two-week lows
chilled sales from farmers who had nearly finished harvests of
record-large U.S. crops. The slow pace of farmer sales forced
buyers to increase bids, further supporting futures, Durchholz
CBOT December corn was up 10 cents at $3.73-1/4 per
bushel as of 12:45 p.m. CST (1845 GMT), on pace for its largest
daily gain of the month. Soybeans for January delivery
gained 13-1/2 cents to $10.18-1/4 per bushel.
CBOT December wheat was up 7-3/4 cents, or 1.4
percent, at $5.45-1/2 while K.C. December hard red winter wheat
was up 2.3 percent at $6.00.
HRW was leading gains in the wheat complex after Saudi
Arabia, which favors that variety, announced a tender seeking
330,000 tonnes and closing on Friday.
Top wheat importer Egypt earlier said that it purchased
60,000 tonnes of soft wheat from France.
Ice to close upper Mississippi from November 20, earliest on record
CHICAGO (Reuters) – The shipping season on the upper Mississippi River will end on Thursday as ice surrounding locks and dams near Minnesota's Twin Cities forced the earliest winter closure on records that date back to 1969, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said.
"There's so much ice through the whole system," said Bryan Peterson, navigation manager for the Army Corps' St. Paul district. "They're getting the barges they can out and not risking getting stuck there all winter."
Ethanol tumbles 7 pct on near-record U.S. production
CHICAGO, Nov 19 (Reuters) – U.S. ethanol futures
tumbled more than 7 percent on Wednesday after the Energy
Information Administration pegged production of the grain-based
biofuel last week at the second highest level on record.
The EIA said ethanol production in the week ending Nov. 14
averaged 970,000 barrels per day, the highest rate since the
record production of 972,000 bpd in the week of June 13.
Corn down most in 2 months as record harvest nears completion
CHICAGO, Nov 18 (Reuters) – U.S. grain and soybean futures
eased on Tuesday, with corn on pace for its worst slump in
nearly two months as investors took profits and record-large
corn and soybean harvests neared completion.
Chicago Board of Trade corn futures lost ground for the
third straight session while wheat eased for the second day.
Each contract declined following three-month highs last week.
Soybeans reversed from gains earlier in the session.
"When the market breaks like this, it tells me that buyers
have enough for now," said Dave Fogel, a broker at Advance
Record export demand for soybeans and soymeal and strong
domestic demand for corn from ethanol producers helped limit the
declines, while bitter cold in the United States could damage
emerging wheat plants.
"We'll find good support from end users and funds defending
their long positions," Jefferies Bache analyst Shawn McCambridge
said of the corn pit. "I just don't see heavy sellers coming
into this market."
CBOT December corn was down 5-1/2 cents at $3.72 per
bushel and January soybeans were off 14-3/2 cents at
$10.21-1/2 as of 11:20 a.m. CST (1720 GMT).
CBOT December wheat fell 5-1/4 cents to $5.46-3/4
after the contract had its best week last week in two years.
The U.S. Agriculture Department said after the close of
trading on Monday that the corn harvest was 89 percent complete
and the soy harvest 94 percent complete, with cuttings of each
crop mostly on pace with recent years after a slow start.
The corn harvest lagged in the northern Corn Belt states of
Michigan, Wisconsin and portions of Minnesota, where snowfall
could delay the final phases of autumn fieldwork, agricultural
meteorologists said.
"Despite those three places, harvest is essentially over,"
Fogel said.
In wheat-growing regions in the U.S. Plains,
colder-than-normal conditions could persist for the next 10 days
before normal temperatures return, the Commodity Weather Group
Soybeans rally on record exports, big U.S. crush
CHICAGO, Nov 17 (Reuters) – U.S. soybeans trimmed early
losses and turned higher on Monday after government and private
reports showed larger-than-expected demand for the beans from
exporters and crushers.
Wheat and corn futures each fell more than 1 percent at the
Chicago Board of Trade, pressured by disappointing international
demand for U.S. grain.
Pasta prices on the boil after global durum crop disappoints
CHICAGO/LONDON, Nov 5 (Reuters) – Pasta lovers are not
savoring the lowest wheat prices in years.
This year's wheat harvest was the biggest ever, but the
durum crop – the type of wheat used for pasta – was the smallest
in 13 years. As a result, makers of the Italian cuisine staple
face the highest costs in four years for the prized wheat
variety milled into the semolina flour that makes pasta noodles.
Soymeal heads for biggest monthly gain since 1976 on tight supply
CHICAGO, Oct 31 (Reuters) – U.S. soymeal shrugged off early
losses to gain 2 percent on Friday, on course for its biggest
monthly gain since 1976, as short-term supply strains in the
United States continued to fuel buying.
Soybeans were also higher, following gains in soymeal, while
wheat and corn futures declined on pressure from multiyear highs
in the dollar that made the crops less competitive in global
Soymeal eases on profit-taking on way to best month since 1976
CHICAGO, Oct 30 (Reuters) – U.S. soymeal futures fell 2.7
percent on Thursday, heading for their biggest daily losses in
two months as investors locked in profits after prices for the
protein-rich animal feed soared to a seven-week high.
Soybean futures shed 1 percent, while corn was roughly
unchanged following a spike in sales by U.S. farmers, who were
harvesting record-large crops. A slow start to the autumn
harvest and light farmer offerings had propped up grain prices
to multiweek highs earlier in the session.
Soymeal jumps 7 pct on rail woes, record export demand
CHICAGO, Oct 29 (Reuters) – U.S. soymeal surged 7 percent on
Wednesday, increasing this week's gains to the largest in six
years as a slow start to a record soybean harvest coupled with
slow traffic on the nation's railroads forced crushing plants to
cover short cash positions in the futures market.
Soybeans jumped nearly 3 percent and corn 1.8 percent, with
each futures contract pushed higher by the gains in soymeal.

Overall Nice Literature Sorter Beth from KEIZER, OR on 09/20/2014 – Verified Buyer
Overall, this literature sorter does the job. Once built, it is a solid unit that functions perfectly. I was a bit disappointed that it is only held together by pre-glued wood dowels (you soak the dowels in water to activate the glue and then hammer them in). There isn't a single screw anywhere. The shelves sit on pegs, so that when you reach in, you can easily knock off the shelf above or below. Since I'm using these in a classroom, I have to make sure the students are careful when they take out their corrected papers. Overall, I do feel this literature sorter does the job and at a decent price.

The Use of Prostheses in Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery: Joy or Toy?
ABSTRACT The high recurrence rate of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) of up to 30% after pelvic reconstructive surgery makes a more refined surgery imperative, as well as the need for either biological or synthetic prostheses as adjuvant treatment. Patients with recurrence risks may benefit from the adjuvant treatment: (1) to substitute for the lack of supportive tissue; (2) to reinforce inadequate tissue; (3) to induce new supportive tissue; and (4) to consolidate and complement the insufficient surgical techniques. However, some debatable issues in use of the prosthetics remain. The use of prosthetics enables the simultaneous repair of all vaginal defects of POP and concomitant anti-incontinence surgery to be faster, easier and more precise. Nevertheless, great care should be devoted to the actual and theoretical short- and long-term risks, many of which have not been fully elucidated. Despite the lack of various ideal characteristics, the type I monofilament, macroporous polypropylene, has been suggested to have the lowest incidence of infection and erosion among the nonabsorbable prostheses. There is good evidence to support the use of nonabsorbable synthetic mesh for abdominal sacrocolpopexy, while the use of prostheses for repairing isolated anterior and posterior compartment defects remains controversial. There have been no long-term studies with sufficient patient numbers to prove whether synthetic or biological prostheses are superior during vaginal surgery. Tension-free vaginal mesh techniques with procedural kits are being adopted increasingly, despite the paucity of data. Although short-term follow-up studies have shown tension-free vaginal mesh to be a safe and effective technique to correct POP, anatomic and functional results of long-term follow-up studies, however, have not yet confirmed the effectiveness and safety. Mesh erosion remains a concern, with variable rates according to different materials and approaches. Newly developed prostheses offer an alternative option to pelvic reconstructive surgery. However, some questions remain: (1) Should prostheses be considered for primary repairs, secondary repairs, or solely in patients with risk factors for recurrence? (2) Which prosthetic material is better: synthetic or biological ones; absorbable or nonabsorbable ones? (3) Do the benefits of prosthetics in pelvic reconstructive surgery outweigh the risks of complications? These questions are explored and reports in the literature reviewed.

The treatment outcomes seem promising (Wu et al., 2008). The use of macroporous monofilament mesh has become a popular treatment in anti-incontinence surgery. "

Article: Polypropylene as a reinforcement in pelvic surgery is not inert: Comparative analysis of 100 explants[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Currently, most implants used for reinforcement in surgical treatment of pelvic floor disorders are knitted monofilament polypropylene (PP). While previously recognized as inert, PP is associated with high complication rates. Some recent literature suggests polyester prosthetics based on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), which may be more inert in vivo. A sample of 100 implants explanted from patients due to complications was examined to evaluate the relative degradation characteristics of PP and PET prosthetics. Histological, microscopic (scanning electron microscopy, SEM) and chemical analysis (Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)) were conducted on these explants. Poly(ethylene terephtahlate) explants appeared to sustain less degradation in vivo than the PP explants observed in this cohort. This is the first study to evaluate synthetic implants used in a vaginal approach for pelvic floor reinforcement. The study provides evidence contrary to published literature characterizing PP as inert in such applications. Additionally, the study suggests the need for clinical trials comparatively investigating the performance of new types of monofilament prosthetics, such as those comprising PET.International Urogynecology Journal 03/2010; 21(3):261-70.

Welcome to the new AT&T Community
We've got a fresh look! Take the tour to see what's new.
this is driving me Crazy. The manual talks about a Mute button on "top" of the phone. Mine has nothing at the Top of the device. On one of the Crackberry forums it says it is not really a button but an icon. Can't find that either.
solved it myself.
Google shows that oodles of people are looking for this answer. For those who can't find it either, a photo halfway down the page here http://www.pocketberry.com/2009/11/05/t-mobile-blackberry-bold-9700-review/ shows where it is. It is a HIDDEN button. HIDDEN underneath the plastic at the top rightr of the phone just above the flashing LED light. You won't see it. You can only feel it. Apparently there is a lock button on the top left.
It would have been nice of RIM to have a photo in their manual to show where these things are rather than just mentioning them. Wasted a lot of time on that one.

Sea Life, 2002
In Nature's Company
On view October 9, 2004 to September 18, 2005
Located in the: Art & Nature Center
The natural world has been an inspiration for artists throughout time. In Nature's Company explores this connection, drawing on the work of more than 20 Massachusetts artists for whom nature is a rich source of creativity and subject matter.
The exhibition features a wide variety of works including paintings, photography, sculpture, furniture, and quilts. Through these works, the artists reflect on their own experiences and interpretations of nature. Sandy Litchfield uses nature walks as inspiration for her fascinating, layered paintings, which blend digital images, oils, and watercolors. Judy Kensley McKie's brass Monkey Chair combines whimsy and functionality. Sally Dillon reflects the vibrant colors and wonders found in the ocean in her quilt Sea Life. Steve Hollinger's Bat uses sunlight and heat to make a bat skeleton move in its glass case. Some works echo the vital forces of nature, while others convey the fragility and delicate balance of the natural environment.
The Art & NatureCenter
The Art & Nature Center is an innovative space for families and K?6 school groups featuring dynamic, interactive displays and activity stations that highlight the connections between art and nature.

The invention refers to the technological field of bottling, generally known in the international classification B67c, and in particular to the volumetric filling devices.
In the literature of prior art are described several types of metering devices (for example patent EP A1 0262258) in which the volumetric chamber includes a mobile cover, sliding inside the transfer chamber, and equipped with o-ring seals.
In the patent EP A1 0470398 is shown a piston inside a metering chamber, and the movements of which, are controlled by an actuating rod, exiting from the chamber, equipped with o-ring seals.
Furthermore, in all known systems, the capacity of the volumetric chamber of the metering filling devices, is pre-set and regulated, by movements of a piston inside the volumetric chamber. Said movements are actuated by rods that exit to be connected to the cinematic systems. Such rods need to be equipped with o-ring seals at the exit orifice. These o-rings are known to cause problems during the sanitation and cleaning in place.
The problem yet to be solved is the realization of a device to actuate the movements of a sliding body inside the volumetric chamber without employing mechanical devices going through the hermetic cover of said filling chamber.
This problem is solved by the present invention as defined in the appended claims. The solution proposed, is to employ a system with permanent magnets, which allows to move from the outside a body suspended inside the hermetic chamber.
The forces needed to move the inside body can be transferred without contact, using the magnetic fields through the walls of the volumetric chamber.
Furthermore, the running slack fit of the inside body, is utilized to allow the flow of the processing fluids without the use of the traditional venting tube.
The present invention will be better understood from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of a metering apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, showing the start of a transfer phase of the filling liquid from a main feeding tank into a volumetric chamber;
FIGS. 2 and 3 are views similar to FIG. 1 showing the continuing flow of liquid during the transfer phase;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIGS. 1 to 3 showing the end of the transfer cycle;
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIGS. 1 to 4 illustrating the start of a delivery cycle in which liquid in the volumetric chamber is transferred to a bottle;
FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 5 illustrating the continuing of the delivery cycle;
FIG. 7 is a view similar to FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrating the completion of the delivery cycle in which the bottle is filled;
FIG. 8 is a schematic top view of a rotating filler assembly;
FIG. 9 is a view similar to FIG. 4 illustrating the end of a delivery cycle for filling bottles of smaller capacity than those of FIGS. 5 to 7; and
FIG. 10 is a partial cross-sectional view of the apparatus illustrating a cleaning operation.
FIGS. 1 to 7 illustrate a metering apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention for supplying predetermined quantities of a liquid 16 to a bottle or other container, and also illustrate successive steps in a filling operation. The metering apparatus basically comprises a vertically orientated metering cylinder 4 having an inner wall defining a volumetric chamber 3, and a free-hanging metering device 1 slidably mounted in chamber 3 for controlling the amount of liquid supplied to chamber 3, as described in more detail below.
The lower end of the chamber 3 is connected via passageway 30 to the lower end of a main filling tank 32, and a cut-off valve 12 is provided in passageway 30. The upper end of the chamber 3 is connected via connecting pipe 11 to the upper end of main filling tank 32. As illustrated in the drawings, a gas phase 17 such as carbon dioxide is provided above the liquid level 10 in tank 32, and pipe 11 provides communication of the gas phase into the upper portion of chamber 3. A filling outlet is provided at the lower end of chamber 3 to supply liquid to a bottle placed at the outlet as in FIGS. 5 to 7, and filling valve 13 controls the supply of liquid from the outlet.
The metering device 1 is generally cylindrical in shape and has a plurality of outwardly projecting centering shoes 8 which guide the device 1 for axial sliding movement in the chamber 3. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, a plurality of magnetic rings 2, 2' are incorporated in device 1, with rings 2 being north and rings 2' being south. An annular cursor device 7 is slidably mounted on the outside of cylinder 4. Magnetic rings 6, 6' are incorporated in cursor device 7 as indicated in FIGS. 1 and 2, with rings 6 being north and rings 6' being south. As illustrated in FIG. 1, when the cursor device is positioned with magnets 6 aligned with magnets 2' of the metering device 1, and magnets 6' aligned with magnets 2 of device 1, the magnets will attract each other such that the device 1 will be held in the illustrated position by the cursor device, and will move up and down with the cursor device as the cursor device is moved axially along the outside of cylinder 4.
FIG. 1 shows the starting of the transfer phase of the processing fluids (16). The fluids coming from the main feeding tank pass through the open valve (12), and from underneath enter into the volumetric chamber (3). It is also shown the gas (17) inside the main tank and inside the volumetric chamber.
FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show the continuing flow of the transfer phase and evidentiate the higher level of the liquid inside the volumetric chamber.
FIG. 4 shows the end of the transfer cycle, when the liquid inside the volumetric chamber (3) has reached the level (10) of the main tank.
FIG. 5 shows the starting of the delivery phase from the volumetric chamber and the filling of the bottle.
FIG. 6 shows the continuation of filling.
FIG. 7 shows the completed phase of filling.
In the FIG. 5. FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 it is also shown the presence of gas (17)--for example carbon dioxide--in the main feeding tank (16) and in the volumetric chamber (3).
FIG. 8 shows a schematic top view of a rotating filler indicating the several phases of the technological processing of filling. Please note that the phases indicated I,II,III,IV,V,VI, and VII. relate to the FIGS. 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7.
FIG. 9 shows the lowered level (23) of the liquid inside the main tank and the corresponding lowered position of the sliding body (1), when the filler is regulated to fill bottles of reduced capacity.
FIG. 10 shows the operation for the sanitation of the filler and evidentiates how the absence of any o-rings facilitates the circulation of the cleaning liquid even in those critical interstices between cylinder and metering piston.
The arrows in FIG. 10 illustrate flow of the cleaning liquid from tank 32, through connecting pipe 11 and into the top of chamber 3, then down via the annular passageway 9 between device 1 and the inner wall of chamber 3 into the lower end of chamber 3, then back through passageway 30 into the tank 32. Thus, this arrangement permits full circulation of cleaning liquid through the entire apparatus, including the critical interstices, without the need for any venting tube or O-ring seals which make effective cleaning difficult.
In the figures every single detail is indicated as follows:
(1) shows a free-hanging device that can freely slide inside the volumetric chamber.
(2) shows north-magnetic rings incorporated in the device (1).
(2') shows south-magnetic rings incorporated in the device (1) but isolated from the north-magnetic ones.
(3) shows the volumetric chamber with a diameter bigger than the sliding device.
(4) shows the metering cylinder.
(5) shows the maximum axial internal movement of the free hanging device.
(6)and(6') show respectively north-magnets and south-magnets, incorporated on the external side of the sliding device (7).
(7) shows the external sliding device.
(8) show the centering shoes that guide the sliding movement of the free-hanging body (1) inside the volumetric chamber (3).
(9) shows the slack fit of the sliding body (1) and the inside wall of the volumetric chamber (3); said slack fit is not capillary and substitutes the traditional venting tube and facilitates the flow of the processing fluids to the volumetric chamber.
(10) show the constant level of the processing liquid inside the main feeding tank.
(11) shows a connecting pipe between the main feeding tank and the volumetric chamber.
(12) shows the cutoff valve of the processing liquid.
(13) shows the filling valve
(14) and (15) show the tappets for the lifting devices of the bottles.
(16) shows the processing liquid.
(17) shows the gas phase of the process.
(18) shows the tappet of the filling valve.
(19) shows the lifting devices of the bottles.
(20) shows the level of the liquid inside the volumetric chamber.
(21) shows the level of the liquid inside the bottle.
(22) shows the reduced capacity of the volumetric chamber.
(23) shows the reduced level of the processing liquid inside the main tank during the filling process of the bottles with a reduced capacity.
(24) show the operation of sanitation, during which the cleaning liquid flows easily, even through the critical interstices, between the sliding device (1) and the inside walls of the volumetric chamber (3).
(I), (II), (III) and (IV) in the FIG. 8 show the various phases of the process of transfer of the liquid from the main feeding tank to the volumetric chamber.
(V), (VI) and (VII) in the FIG. 8 show the various phases of the process of filling of the bottles.
The evidence of the drawings points out to the simplicity of the apparatus, which is without a venting valve and o-rings. It is also pointed out that the use of congruent magnets, which attract each other without contacting, allows to maneuver from the outside the movement of the device (1) inside the hermetic cylinder (4), guaranteeing the firm stability of the pre-set balancing positions corresponding to the various capacities of the bottles to be filled. It is also pointed out the fact that the annular shape or the centralsymmetric positioning of the permanent magnets allows to nullify the resultant of the radial forces of magnetic attraction so to render nil the friction between the guide shoes (8) and the internal wall of the volumetric chamber (3).Said lack of friction optimizes the operations of axial positioning of the hanging device (1).
The invention is obviously susceptible to several variants of pratical realization as to what relates to the structural proportioning or the technological choices of the materials to be used.It is also evident that are to be considered as being a part of the present invention all those devices to regulate from the outside the capacity of the volumetric chamber of the metering devices of a filler without venting tube and without o-rings, and equipped with magnets, internal and external, to actuate the movements of the internal piston of a cylindrical volumetric chamber.

The Turning Point Towards a Low-Carbon Future
Article reprinted with permission from EcoWatch
The news last week that the Australian Newcastle city council had voted to divest from fossil fuel stocks was one of those signposts that historians will some day cite to mark the greatest economic transition in human history.
A young councillor, Declan Clausen, was able to grasp the truth that eludes the Australian federal government and indeed so many world leaders: coal—and oil and gas—are not the future and they're barely the present. We're suddenly and decisively, in a one-way transition to a renewable future and the only question—perhaps the most important question humans have ever faced—is whether we can make that transition fast enough to save the planet.
You can tell that coal is the past by asking any scientist with a working knowledge of the planet's climate system. 2015 will be the hottest year in the planet's recorded history, a landmark that comes with the requisite fire and flood. July was the hottest month ever measured on earth. New data from the most important climate scientist, NASA veteran James Hansen, concludes that on its present emissions trajectory, sea levels could rise 10 feet (three meters) this century.
EPA Urged by Nearly 100,000 in the US to Redo Highly Controversial Fracking Study
Article reprinted with permission from EcoWatch
The public comment period for the highly controversial US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) fracking study ends today. Food & Water Watch, Environmental Action, Breast Cancer Action and other advocacy groups delivered nearly 100,000 comments from Americans asking the US EPA to redo their study with a higher level of scrutiny and oversight.
The study produced significant controversy due to the discrepancy in what the EPA found in its report and what the agency's news release title said. The study stated that "we did not find evidence" of "widespread, systemic impacts to drinking water resources," but the title of the EPA's news release said, "Assessment shows hydraulic fracturing activities have not led to widespread, systemic impacts to drinking water resources"—a subtle but significant difference that led to most news coverage having headlines like this one in Forbes, "EPA Fracking Study: Drilling Wins."
Thousands of Walruses Stranded Ashore in Alaska Once Again Due to Rapidly Melting Sea Ice
threatening their survival. Walruses use sea ice to rest and feed. But with Arctic sea ice hitting a new low this past winter and fears that the Arctic could be entirely ice-free in summer months by the 2030s, walruses have no choice but to crowd ashore in mass numbers.In what has now become a regular occurrence, thousands of walruses are being forced ashore on a remote barrier island in Alaska,
The first reported sighting this year was earlier this week. Gary Braasch, an environmental photographer, told The Guardian he first spotted the walruses coming ashore on the southern end of the barrier island, about two miles from the hamlet of Point Lay. The mass stranding comes ahead of President Obama's visit to Alaska to shed a spotlight on the toll climate change is taking on the Arctic region.
Last year, upwards of 35,000 walruses were forced ashore, setting a record. U.S. government agencies and the Native village of Point Lay ask that the media refrain from visiting the community to film or "sightsee" as "the walruses need space to reduce disturbance and possible trampling of animals." Since at least 2007, due to the loss of sea ice in the Chukchi Sea, "walrus females and calves are coming ashore in the late summer/early fall in large numbers near the community," said U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and U.S. Geological Survey in a joint statement.
The site has been occupied by as many as 20,000 to 40,000 animals at its peak, according to Jim MacCracken, supervisory wildlife biologist with the USFWS. Scientists worry that any disturbances could lead to large stampedes, which injure and kill some walruses, especially calves.
Lives in the Balance: Hundreds More Refugees Perish Off the Libyan Coast
In 1986, Jackson Browne released a withering song that decried the Reagan wars in Central America. In it, Browne pleaded that "there are lives in the balance." Although Browne was responding in particular to US government support of the Contras in the Nicaraguan civil war and military massacres in Latin America, many of the song's lyrics are also relevant to the deaths of other people who are treated as disposable. Take for instance this passage in the song:
I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Yesterday I posted a commentary entitled, "Global Neoliberalism and Wars of Empire Play Roles in Migrants' Fatal Efforts to Reach Europe." Given how many refugees of economic, political and violence crises were precipitated - in large part - by Western intervention in northern Africa and the Middle East, Jackson's impatient and urgent lyrics could apply equally well to the deaths of global refugees.
While the media this year have been more focused on migrant deaths in Europe fatalities, Donald Trump has been using migrants from Mexico and Central America as the focus of his incendiary rallying cry. Trump is stoking hatred and base fears among a segment of the US population as refugees die crossing through the desert to bypass the border wall.
White House Fires Back at Charles Koch
Article reprinted with permission from EcoWatch
The White House fired back at the Koch brothers yesterday after Charles Koch told Politico he was "flabbergasted" by a recent attack on him and his brother by President Obama during a clean energy speech in Las Vegas, Nevada earlier this week.
It all started on Monday when President Obama accused critics of his energy policies as "wanting to protect an outdated status quo" and "standing in the way of the future." He specifically called out the Koch brothers for funding these attacks on renewable energy, saying "you start seeing massive lobbying efforts backed by fossil fuel interests, or conservative think tanks, or the Koch brothers pushing for new laws to roll back renewable energy standards or prevent new clean energy businesses from succeeding—that's a problem."

On Tuesday, Charles Koch responded to the comments, saying the attack was "beneath the President, the dignity of the President, to be doing that." Koch told Politico that he is not against renewable energy, he is merely "opposed to renewable energy subsidies of all kinds—as we are all subsidies, whether they benefit or help us."
Hawai'i Flips Switch on World's Largest Ocean Harvesting Clean Energy Plant

Hawaii is definitely ahead of the curve when it comes to renewable energy. In June, the Aloha state became the first state to mandate that all of its electricity come from renewable sources no later than 2045. Along with other islands, its charging ahead with wind, solar and smart grid systems. But now, the state is home to the first fully closed-cycle Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) plant in the US.

OTEC is "a process that can produce electricity by using the temperature difference between deep cold ocean water and warm tropical surface waters," Makai Ocean Engineering, the company that built the plant, explains on its website. "OTEC plants pump large quantities of deep cold seawater and surface seawater to run a power cycle and produce electricity." Makai touts OTEC as a constant, clean energy source that is "capable of providing massive levels of energy."
Global Neoliberalism and Wars of Empire Play Roles in Migrants' Fatal Efforts to Reach Europe
Almost daily, there are reports of deaths of desperate migrants to Europe seeking economic refuge or safety from wars.
For example, an August 27 CNN article reports,
The discovery of a number of dead migrants in the back of a truck in Austria, just a day after the Italian coast guard said 54 people lost their lives trying to cross the Mediterranean, has highlighted once again the scale of the migration crisis gripping Europe.
Europe is not alone in experiencing an increase in refugees seeking jobs or fleeing war zones. Needless to say, for example, migration from Mexico and Central America are at the forefront of Donald Trump's appeal to bigoted xenophobia and exploitation of economic uncertainty among white voters in the US.
One Planet: Even the Magnificence of the Grand Canyon Can't Escape Toxic Pollution
That is also a point to remember in the case of pollution in general. For example, even though the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon National Park is free of industry, it is apparently not free of pollutants. The Nature World Report recently drew attention to this ominous reality:
A UNSECO World Heritage site and the 15th oldest national park in the U.S. the Grand Canyon is about as far removed from the congestion and pollution associated with our nation's industrial and urban centers. And yet, according to a study by the United States Geological Survey [USGS], even the mighty Grand Canyon (and the Colorado River that forms it) isn't immune to pollution: The levels of mercury and selenium now regularly exceed the "risk threshold" for fish and local wildlife.
Should the toxic elements enter the food supply, they could be harmful to fish and wildlife that eat them. It seems that the Grand Canyon's remote location is of little import – the pollutants are airborne, and come from as far away as entire other countries.
The breathtaking beauty and wonder of the Grand Canyon connects us spiritually to this planet on which we reside. It is a sobering portent that this wondrous natural creation is now showing signs of measurable mercury and selenium pollution.
Incrementally ruinous global warming and pollution often do not seem to pose an immediate threat to our daily experience – they may appear remote and not worthy of immediate attention.
Activists Take to the Sea to Demand an End to Offshore Drilling
offshore oil drilling. The kayaktivists paddled out five miles and unfurled a 70-foot floating banner that read: #CrudeAwakening.Activists in Santa Barbara, California took to the sea this past weekend to take a stand against
Their aim was to "raise awareness and generate action in support of four critical bills currently moving through the State Assembly," the group said in a statement. The activists said the Refugio Oil Spill off the coast of Santa Barbara this past May was a "rude awakening" for them. The spill ended up blanketing the shore and coastal waters with 140,000 gallons of crude oil.
"It shut down beaches, greased marine protected areas and killed or injured several hundred birds and marine mammals," said Patagonia. "The effects continue to linger and likely will for some time. If there's any upside to this horrible mess, we now have a good opportunity to stop future spills."
The event was organized by the Surfrider Foundation, in collaboration with Patagonia, Environmental Defense Center and Santa Barbara Channelkeeper.
According to the groups, the bills currently moving through the State Assembly would:
- stop new oil drilling in the Marine Protected Area at Tranquillon Ridge, in the Santa Barbara Channel.
- improve oil spill response off our coast.
- require oil companies to use "best available technology" on their pipelines.
- improve requirements for pipeline inspection.
Christian Reconstruction: Evangelical Christianity's Outrageous and Influential Far-Right Fringe
Here's a simple question: Have you ever heard of Christian Reconstruction, Rousas J. Rushdoony, or one of his most influential works, The Institutes of Biblical Law? Probably not! Christian Reconstruction, is a religious belief system, set out by the late Rushdoony, which maintains that every aspect of society – church, state, family, economy -- should be based on Biblical law. It is evangelical Christianity's right-wing fringe, yet its tentacles reach deep into the Clown Car that is the Republican Party's field of presidential candidates. Is Christian Reconstruction so fringed out that it is not worthy of attention? Not according to Julie J. Ingersoll, author of the new book, Building God's Kingdom: Inside the World of Christian Reconstruction, who posits that Reconstructionists' "biblical worldview" played, and continues to play, a highly influential role, although subtle and often hidden, in contemporary right-wing politics.
When Christian Reconstructionists say God's law -- as it is revealed in the Old and New Testaments -- should control every aspect of life, they mean every aspect, interpreting the Bible as mandating a challenge to the legitimacy of democracy, justifying slavery, and advocating the stoning to death of homosexuals, adulterers, and Sabbath-breakers. If any of this sounds familiar, you might be thinking Taliban and/or ISIS.
As investigative reporter John F. Sugg pointed out in a 2004 extensive piece in Tampa, Florida's Weekly Planet, "Most churchgoers have never heard of Christian Reconstruction or theonomy. Believers would be hard-pressed to define 'dominion theology,' 'covenant theology,' 'pre-millennial,' [or] 'post- millennial.' ... Nor would most Americans reflexively embrace a 'theology' that denounced all government social programs, public schools, environmental protections -- a religion that promoted mass executions for sins as minor as swearing at parents, ..."
While a number of investigative reporters, researchers and writers such as John Sugg, and Chip Berlet, author of Eyes Right! Challenging the Right Wing Backlash, and Frederick Clarkson, author of Eternal Hostility: The Struggle Between Theocracy and Democracy, have delved deeply into this movement over the years, perhaps no one has been as immersed in it as Ingersoll.
